THE NANOBEAK SENSOR

Nanobeak is developing a sensor that will screen for the Volatile Organic Compound signatures in a person’s breath. Our device and application (working with any smart phone, laptop or tablet) will be able to identify the presence of lung cancer from a single exhalation. Results will be able to be viewed by patient and doctor in-the-moment and when treatment options are discussed. The Nanobeak Sensor was developed to address one of the longest standing unmet medical needs today which involves early stage lung cancer detection and to do so in an affordable, non-invasive, safe and convenient way.

Similarly, the device will be used by law enforcement to detect the presence of marijuana on a driver’s breath. As more and more states legislate the use of marijuana for medical use the risk of driving while drugged increases as does the death toll. Currently, this represents a significant unmet need as law enforcement struggles with multiple interventions to attempt to assess the condition of drivers that, if not legally intoxicated, appear to be drugged. The Nanobeak Sensor and its application will provide in-the-moment results with a goal of making our roads safer for all drivers and creating a more effective tool for law enforcement.

CBS

CBS News Correspondent Barry Peterson reported on 'CBS This Morning' on March 16, 2014 that “An officer makes a roadside assessment if he suspects marijuana, but unlike alcohol, it can't be detected with a breathalyzer test. Marijuana does however, have a limit - five nanograms of active THC in your blood, but the only way to measure whether someone has reached or passed that limit is in a hospital with a blood test.”Learn more about Our Solution to the Unmet Need.
